Just hours after her husband Rene
Angelil lost his battle with cancer, we have learned that Celine Dion's brother
is now fighting for his life – and may only have hours left to live.

The singer's 59-year-old brother,
Daniel, has been battling brain, tongue and throat cancer and loved ones
believe he may not make it through another week, a rep for Celine confirmed to Access
Hollywood on Friday.
